Boris Diaw was tailor-made for the triangle offense. His court vision and playmaking skills are some of the best at the forward position.

Diaw gives the team added depth in the frontcourt and he's the perfect player to have come off the bench. He could seamlessly transition to the power forward position and take Pau Gasol's place as the low-post facilitator.

Derek Fisher plays a vital role for the team, but his abilities continue to diminish as he gets older. His backup, Steve Blake, is capable of running the point, but Andre Miller presents a significant upgrade over both of them.

Despite his age, Miller rarely misses games and his toughness could help a team that sorely lacks it at this juncture.

Miller's poor perimeter shooting would hurt a bit, but he makes up for that with solid defense and better playmaking abilities.
